Delay redstone with commands [duplicate]

Is there any way to use commands to make a long delay? I do not want to use a dispenser to fire an arrow into a button, because I don't want to keep reloading it, nor do I want to use a lot of repeaters. Can anyone help with possible commands/layouts for this sort of idea?

A very simple way to do this is simply with a /wait command. It's really just /wait [time in redstone ticks], at 20 ticks per second. At the end of that time, it will send a pulse out to any comparators attached to it, which you can use to power your dispensers (the pulse is the same as clicking a button.) Any other redstone put through it in that time would be outputted at the end of that time stacking on top of what's already coming. If you wanted it to loop, you could just put another string of redstone out from the string going into the dispenser to loop back around to the command block, and put a few repeaters on it so the pulse is over by the time it gets there. Hope this helped!
